You Rule the Nation apps~!

This will be a RP I consider to be complicated and very much reliant on the people participating. You not only control your character, you control a nation of people and your success relies on your actions as well as the other RP participants actions.

This is my First Role Play, lets make it great :3and yes this is kinda like that one posting game a while back, you veterans might recognize that lol, however I tried not to make it as complicated

Background:

The Great Era has begun and the world flourishes under your rule. You create a ruler AND a county. Your nation is completely reliant on your decisions Your nation exists on the world of Phage a planet that's surface is 80% water and lies on an enormously large island or splits and even larger island with a neighboring country.

The Gods and Goddesses have become quite active after the 400 Year War and have decided to stir up both mischief and good, it's your job as ruler of your country to fight the obstacles put in your way. They wish to see how the new budding nations will grow or fall.

Who's nation shall come up on top?

Rules:

~Follow all existing RP rules~You are not permitted to take in more land without scouting (unoccupied land) or attacking the area(occupied by another country)~If you create a character YOU MUST CREATE A COUNTRY! I didn't make this very clear, and I apologize for that. Your character is the ruler of your country!~You MUST complete your app fully to be accepted. If you do not I will put you on the "black list" letting players know not to interact with you during the RP.~You may only have ONE nation at a time (see bottom of post)~You can make alliances, marry other Rulers, and go to war.~Marriage requires the consent of the other player.~Going to war does not require the other player's consent, however the other character must be aware that they are at war (Have to give others a fair chance)~Game Masters (GMs) are considered the Gods and Goddesses of this world. They take control of the natural elements of the game and can destroy your crops with a bad harvest, create natural disasters and create plagues (users wishing to apply for GMs may PM me with an application and description of your role as a god/dess. Yes your god/dess is a character and dealings can be made in both the RP and by PM without my consent)~People not participating in the RP are allowed to PM the GMs for ideas in the game. They can also PM me or the GMs for a role as a minor god/dess or priest/ess that travels through the countries spreading good or evil. ~A GM can not have a minor God/ess or priest/ess character~You may be any age (however if you character is a baby someone in your court will rule the country till your character is of a reasonable age)~Game Masters will post game changing updates in Red, Green, OR Indigo. You are not permitted to post in those colors at anytime. All other colors are allowed~You can be removed from the blacklist if you fix what needs to be fixed~Try not to leave people out! I want this to be interactive. My kingdom (when created) will hold daily meetings and whatnot that any Ruler may join in. This will be the standard meeting place for socialization and declarations of war and more! ~If I rejected your Game Master APP I'll ask if you wish to have a minor God/dess or priest/ess these characters are neutral and may stir up small trouble in the nations!~If you read the rules say "My Nation shall come out on top!" Not doing so will result in being on the blacklist.

Other InformationRemember to Read the rules, you don't want to end up on the Blacklist do you?

Game Masters will be named at the opening of the Role Play and will be put in the first post.

People may come and go at any time. Unsatisfied with your current kingdom? You may create a new one, however, your old one will be destroyed by a god/dess. This is due to the rules stated.

I will post my app when we're ready to start and have at least one approved Game Master.

Any ideas for the Role Play? PM me! I'm open to all suggestions ^^

Look daily at the first page of the RP (when created) for any important updates!

Application-Country and CharacterCountry Name: AmberlocksCountry Age: 116 Years OldCountry Color(s): Caramel colorCountry Motto: " Is grey on the outside but has a heart of gold. 'Country's Governmental system: DemocracyCountry's History This country is named Amberlocks because of how much amber and gold they produce, and just put on locks because the ruler of the country's last name is Locks. It has a small population because not many people know this country and usually locks up the outsiders who dare to say the secret of the gold and amber. It has a very fair democracy and tries to include all of the citizens to participate in events and missions. They have nice and well people who are very mysterious and secretive. Amberlocks' ruler is Abigail Locks, her father and mother were the second rulers of the country and is now passed down the heir to her.Neighboring Nations? Leave blank if necessarySpecial Holidays/DaysGolden Month; A yearly event that is celebrated in the whole month, which is November. It is a month to celebrate the gold and amber.

Character Name Abigail "Abbey" LocksAge 16 - 18Gender FemalePersonality Fair, Stubborn at times, Humorous to close friends, Very Independent, Quiet, Intelligent, Really shy, and quite sensitiveNotable characteristics as a leader Good but can be badBio Abigail Locks is known as Abbey. She is very independent and shy towards unknown citizens. Abigail can be outgoing and show her real self more when she gets to know a person. Her close friends is probably her assistant and a few special people she trusts. Although she's shy and independent she tries to hide it with ruler-type personalities like being talkative and calm. Her mother and father were too old to rule the country so they passed the ruler-ship to her and to her future and unknown spouse. Abigail tends to decline all engagement requests because she doesn't trust them and knows they will only use the land's riches and jewels.Picture/Description

*Small update to the background has been made For clarification*

Thanks for the acceptance, Relora! ^^ I can't wait for the role play, very nice and interesting. :]

EDIT: I've also edited the holidays and events for the country since I forgot. ^^;;

I'v e had this country since 6th grade, YEAH! I've even got a language for it!

Application-Country and CharacterCountry Name: The Malbjan StatesCountry Age: ~1500 years as a loose unity of people, 271 years as a formal commonwealth, 113 years under the Taihek. Partitioned 434 years ago, they were a protectorate of larger empires for ~100 years, until finally getting independence 271 years ago.Country Color(s): Red, yellow, and greenCountry Motto: Towards the greatness of tomorrow (janersirmala haneltwo) (JAE-ner-seer-meh-leh HAE-nil-toe)Country's Governmental system: Constitutional Oligarchy (The oligarchs are the most powerful clans in malbja, but only one of them can be elected as Taihek, and even then follows parliament's rules. Parliament is elected by the people.) (Taihek = TEY-heck)Country's History: Malbja began with the "hanele shadenrel", the "great migration" from the upper plateau to the Malbjan valley. Early Malbjans were nomadic people, escaping from the intolerant ethnic groups of the upper plateau. They didn't settle permanently until the early middle ages, however. The lismikra, translated literally as "light-bringer", was a soldier from the centre of the valley that took over the rest of it under the first Malbjan flag (depicting a golden eagle on a red background). This first country was relatively prosperous for a long time until it was taken over by neighbouring countries. After independence, they tried to emulate the governmental system of their former rulers, but a revolution at the end of the century put the Jújinbrjam (JOO-jin-byem) clan in charge of everything. Later, the system became one where only a few select families were controlling the country, and power struggles were everywhere. The Taihek, a religious and political ruler, first came around 113 years ago, and is now selected from one of the most powerful families by parliament (members of which are democratically elected) as soon as the old one dies. Current rebels are trying to change the system into a more democratic one.Neighboring Nations?:Special Holidays/Days: Independence day is a national holiday on 7 March, celebrating the independence 271 years ago. A religious holiday on the winter solstice involves setting candles on the entrance and a huge feast. Anything else: Main exports: lumber, metal goods, and fabric.

Character Name Taihek Torin Naribabrjam (TOE-reen NAE-ree-beh-byem)Age 20Gender DudePersonality Calm and thoughtful, but gets very passionate about his ideals. Strong belief in justice and in proper punishment. Can seem impersonal and distant because he is afraid of commiting to people, but there's never anyone more loyal to plans and ideas. Notable characteristics as a leader Makes few reforms, but those he DOES make tend to change the whole country's politics - for better or worse. Hardly seen in public, he isn't easily pressured into doing what the people or the parliament want him to do.Bio Born Karehen Naribabrjam (KAH-re-hin), Torin was born into a very privileged position. Although it was obvious that the slightly more liberal Júset Naribabrjam (JOO-sit) was to become the head of the Naribabrjam clan, an unfortunate attack by republican rebels killed him off, letting Torin take charge. He changed his name as per the religious rules of his clan.Picture/Description Tall. His movements are careful and measured, as are his facial expressions. His hair is blonde, and his eyes are brown.Significant Characters in your Nation His main opponent and main threat towards him getting power was Jusen Leratebrjam (JUH-sen LEH-rat-eh-byem), the clever matriarch of the Leratebrjams. The head of parliament and chair to their discussions is Suset Konsabrjam (SUH-sit KON-sae-byem). The second-in-command in the family is Larí Naribabrjam (LAE-ree)
